Exploding Box Card

Isn't Spring wonderful?! I love seeing all the flowers blooming, and the grass starting to grow. 

I have felt very inspired by all the flowers lately, and so decided to make a spring card. 


The idea for this card came from Pinterest. The original designer is Susiesmith37. 

I loved what she had done with her card, and so I decided to take my own spin on it. 

I used Graphic 45's Botanical Tea collection for this card. I just adore all the spring themed papers!

The red roses were some paper roses I already had on hand, and the butterfly's came from Graphic 45's Old Curiousity Shoppe. 



The teacup I cut using my Cricut Explore and the Tags Bags Boxes and More 2 cartridge. 

I patterned out and made the box and lid myself, designing it just big enough for the teacup to fit. 
And here is the box closed. 

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope this inspired you to make your own spring card! -AR

And that is where they have been since I bought them. Sitting on my shelf, collecting dust. Why you ask? Fear. Fear that my art wouldn't hold up to what I had seen created with them, fear that I wouldn't be able to handle the learning curve of oil pastels, fear that I wasn't good enough. What it boils down to is fear of myself and fear of failure more so then the art supply itself. Basically what I’...
